You think I won't drink it... but I will. It's flavorless but has a nice promise at the beginning.

Aroma's arm molasses, raisins, toffee and dark malt was a bit of roast. Flavors are similar to nose, leaning sweet with soft mouth. I would expect to have this in Britain.

Pours a deep, possibly hazy dark brown. Head disappears surprisingly fast, leaving no lacing to speak of. Not too much intensity in the aroma, where a decently deep malty base (caramel, lighter chocolate and hints of roasted malts) is followed by fruitiness (berries/fruit cake). Feels deeper and brighter in the taste: nicely deep malty base: caramel and lighter toffee as the base, light notes of chocolate and hints of coffee; possibly the slightest hint of spiciness; bright/vivid and slightly juicy soft fruity notes (fruit cake/berries). Finishes semi-dry with a bit of fruity reminiscence. Medium to dense bodied with quite light carbonation, resulting in a nice, slightly creamy mouthfeel that feels both full enough and silky smooth. Pretty nice example of the style.

Bought at Liquor Shed. Best before October 2023. Sounds fresh to me.
Pours a deep amber brown, cola like, with a finger of off white foam, lovely lacing abounds.
Smells malty, caramel, toasted, has some spicy notes, more sweetness, like brown sugar.
Taste is that brown sugar sweetness, toasted malt, nice zing of spicy notes, a burnt like character. Not really sweet but nothing that I would call bitter.
Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
A real treat this is. I'll have to pick up more 4packs.
